Hey! Hope everyone had an amazing Valentines Day, I learned that
Valentines Day is one of those days that as a missionary aren't the
greatest days.....especially being in Barcelona (one of the most
romantic cities in the world) soooo yeah that was a pretty awkward
day! I've never seen so many people kissing in one day, continually
through the day. But nevertheless this week has been good!
Elder Allen(my new companion) and I are getting along pretty well!
This week was really stressful for pretty much everyone in our
District, but it's all good. I'm grateful for weeks like this because
it just makes the better ones even greater! Elder Allen and I had some
good times to talk this week and get to know each other better,
because I started getting migraines again this week so we had to stay
in part of Tuesday and Wednesday so that was good!
We officially have passed out two investigators who had baptismal
dates, yesterday to the next ward over and we have been kind of
stressed about that but one our Muslim investigators, Sukina, who I
found my first week made a break through and is really starting to
progress.....BUT guess what?! She lives in that same area that we
passed our two other investigators to, so now all our people we were
teaching regularly are gone and it pretty much means we have to start
over from scratch, so fun stuff! But it'll all work out.
My Spanish is really improving! My mission started a new rule, where
on Sunday's we cannot speak any English for the whole day and it helps
so much! I feel like I've finally got to the point where I'm thinking
in Spanish and feel comfortable speaking. The Elders in my apartment
say that I talk in my sleep in Spanish haha! Elder Allen only has one
month more than I do in the mission so we both are pretty young but we
get around pretty well and I really don't feel too much different than
when I had a companion who had been out for a year, so yeah it's good!
The work is great, it's hard but the greatest thing I've ever done! I
know that this is the work of the Lord and that all we really do is
help people receive it, we may teach but the Holy Ghost is true
teacher and we contact and look for people, but only the people who
listen to us are just placed in our path by the Lord! This is his work
and my job is to do my all so that he can simply use me as a tool to
help bring his children into him. I love you all sooo much and hope
you all have a wonderful week!
